analüüsideks

Analüüsideks is the translative plural form of the Estonian noun analüüs, meaning “for analyses” or “for analysis.” It is used to express purpose or intended use, similar to how English uses “for the analyses” or “for analysis.” In Estonian grammar, the translative case indicates the aim or direction of an action, and analüüsideks is formed from the plural genitive analüüside + the translative suffix -ks.

The form is common in scientific, medical, and data-processing contexts where materials, samples, or data are prepared or designated to undergo analysis. It signals that the items are intended to be analyzed rather than used for another purpose. Analüüsideks often appears with phrases describing preparation, handling, or study design.

Examples:

- Proovid on ettevalmistatud analüüsideks. (Samples are prepared for analyses.)

- Need näidised on kogutud analüüsideks. (These samples have been collected for analyses.)

- Dokumentatsioon on koostatud analüüsideks. (The documentation has been prepared for analyses.)

Note that for a single analysis the corresponding form is analüüsiks (for analysis). Analüüsideks is thus the plural counterpart used when multiple analyses are involved, reflecting a plural scope of evaluation or testing. The term remains mainly in technical or formal contexts and is less common in everyday speech.
